Mia McKenna-Bruce joins as Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, providing a lively and curious sidekick to aid in the investigation.
Creative Force Behind the Series
Chris Chibnall, known for Doctor Who and the gripping crime drama Broadchurch, leads this adaptation, promising an intricate and thrilling mystery experience.
"Prepare for some uncharted territory, because Seven Dials isn’t your typical Christie tale filled with Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple... Martin Freeman will portray Superintendent Battle."
"Chris Chibnall, the genius who brought us Doctor Who, is stepping out of the TARDIS and into the world of intricate mysteries."
Summary
This upcoming Netflix adaptation reinvents Agatha Christie's lesser-known detective hero, Superintendent Battle, under Chris Chibnall’s direction, promising a fresh, suspenseful mystery series.
